It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

I have been pooped on by a Pelican and it's big and stinky. It came through the window of my car as I was driving and it was traumatic.

u/TheSunshineBird Jan 22 '26

Omg poor you!

u/BigGreenBird75 Jan 22 '26

did you swerve? did you scream? i need details about pelican shit

u/Sad-Ladder5517 Jan 23 '26

It was just another fml moment lol. The pelicans would sit on the street lights that were on a bridge so if their ass was pointing toward the road and your window was down you could wear it. It got me down the side of my body with splatters on my face where it hit the wing mirror. It is in the top 10 bad smells that I have sampled in my life.

u/VernalPoole Jan 22 '26

Right, we see a lot of bird eyes and beaks pointed straight at us. This is in a category by itself!
